Using an Existing Pad
In many applications, SlideSmart may be a replacement
operator for an existing gate system.
Make sure the pad is level and inspect the pad for:
•
Compliance with local building codes.
• Appropriate distance from the gate. See Figure 1-4.
• Appropriate dimensions (See Figure 1-2) for
SlideSmart installation.
• Durability.
To use an existing pad, take the following steps:
1. Remove any existing equipment from the pad.
2. Measure the pad to ensure it is sized properly for
SlideSmart.
3. Check the mounting hole locations and re-drill, if
necessary.
4. Follow the steps in Concrete Pad Mount .
CAUTION
Consider positioning the operator so existing conduit enters the cutout in the SlideSmart base
plate. Cutting small holes in the plastic base plate and cover for pre-existing conduit is
permissible. Two 0.875-inch (22mm) diameter holes for running conduit are also provided on
both sides of the chassis. See Figure 1-5.
